Clean sheets

3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.6, Hills carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 12%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
